covered him over many years. and i can tell you he was an honest, very, very decent man. may he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing. thank you very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, a family mourns a young black man killed by police, new questions surrounding more police involved fatal shootings across the country, including the death of a 16-year-old girl in columbus, ohio. plus, an anti-asian hate crimes bill passes the senate 94-1. so who was the only senator? republican josh holly. why? and doctors say alexei navalny say end the hunger strike now. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett.

"outfront" tonight, grief and anger not far from where george floyd took his last breath. the community around minneapolis again gathering, this time for daunte wright, the 20-year-old black man shot by a police officer. officer kim potter yelled "taser, taser, taser" at wright before firing her gun. the police chief says she mistook her gun for her taser. at one point, wrigt's mother was on the phone with her son. that, of course, would be the last time she ever spoke to him. and today, she spoke about him by his casket. >> i never imagined that i would be standing here, the roles should be reversed. my son should be burying me. my son had a smile that was worth a million dollars. when he walked in the room, he lit up the room.

he was a brother, a jokester. he was loved by so many. he's going to be so missed. >> wright's family was surrounded by other families, who also have lost loved ones at the hands of police. the families of george floyd, or lando castillo and jamal clark were all there, along with the boyfriend of breonna taylor, who was killed by police late at night at her home. and today as we watched these families united in their loss, we are learning new details of two more police involved fatal shootings. makiyah bryant, who was shot after she lunged after another girl with a knife. and a man shot by deputies in his car. we'll have much more on these developing stories in a moment. first, i want to go to

minneapolis and omar, celebrations over the chauvin conviction were short lived for so many tonight. >> reporter: that's right, erin. it's easy to fall into the idea that the verdict against derek chauvin was the end all, be all. but it's far from that. a persisting chant here is one down, three to go. of course, talking about the other officers charged in the killing of george floyd, and even in this week of celebration in one case, you have tragedy in another. and significantly, a reminder of the stakes at play when it comes to policing in america. less than 48 hours after the celebration for the murder conviction of former police officer derek chauvin -- ♪ ♪ >> reporter: the funeral for daunte wright. >> you thought he was just some kid with air freshener. he was a prince, and all of

minneapolis is stopped today to honor the prince of brooklyn center. >> reporter: during chauvin's trial, in brooklyn center, minnesota, wright was shot and killed by former police officer kim potter, attempting to arrest him during a traffic stop for a misdemeanor warrant. >> taser, taser, taser. oh, my, i just shot him. >> reporter: and in the struggle, the city's police chief claiming she mistook her gun for her taser. she's been charged with second degree manslaughter. wright was 20 years old. and in a span of two weeks, hardly alone. the day of the chauvin verdict. [ gunfire ] 16-year-old makiyah bryant was shot and killed by an officer after she lunged at another young woman with a knife. elizabeth city, north carolina.

>> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> reporter: the morning after the chauvin verdict, an true brown, jr., was shot and killed by deputies serving a warrant. a repeated american pattern, leaving some fearful. >> you can grow up in an area where automatically as soon as you walk through your door and the police stereotype you, it's scary. a lot of people don't know what that feels like or never witnessed that. >> reporter: but it's a pain reverberating across the country, especially in the minneapolis area. >> the question is, not for all my neighbors, what are we going to do? what is the government going to do? this is towering. i've been doing this for a long time, and it's the same story over and over and over again. >> reporter: with the pain, some hope. an alternate juror in the chauvin trial says she's

optimistic it will lead to real change. what are you going to remember most? >> i hope some good comes out of it. i hope this is a turning point. i hope minnesota does the world proud. >> reporter: there's reminders of so many more that remain. >> we have to keep the justice for us, for us. you come through here, and if you see the peoples, it will give you a whole different perspective. this doesn't happen to everybody. it happens to us. and we're going to do what we've got to do. >> reporter: the months after george floyd's death, use of force by minneapolis police dropped. but then spiked late last year, according to a cnn analysis. and black people were the subjects of those use of force incidents at a highly disproportionate rate. and when you look ahead, it's

part of why the justice department has already launched a probe into the practices of the police department here. something local leadership has welcomed, not to mention renewed momentum to pass the george floyd justice and policing act in d.c. that would ban police chokeholds and make it easier to prosecute police officers. all of it combined to at least make a step toward long-term change for policing in america. >> omar, thank you very much. i want to go now to benjamin crump, attorney for the families of george floyd and dante wright. ben, today at dahntay wright's funeral, you acknowledged all the loved ones of other victims of police violence. they were there in attendance. george floyd's family, breonna ta taylor. how did it feel to look out there and see all of those families united in this tragedy? >> it was a great show of support, erin. you even have oscar grant's

family from when that police officer there claimed to have pulled his taser, but pulled his gun and shot and killed oscar grant while he was face down in handcuffs. and so i thought about all of them being there to provide comfort and counsel to daunte wright's family. because god only knows what they're about to endure over the next months and years, on their journey for justice. and they are now going to assassinate their character, because they want to justify the unjustifiable killing. >> so let me ask you about that journey, because as you point out, it's going to be a long one. the officer in the daunte wright case has been charged with second degree manslaughter. i know that wright's mother, aunt and others have called this murder, and murder is a very different word legally than

manslaughter, which, again, is the charges. will they be able to accept any verdict in this case as it is now with the charges now? >> well, i think what they want is equal justice. at the funeral today when i spoke in a plea for justice, i asked would she have shot if that would have been her child? you know, that's the real question, erin. because we love our children just like our white brothers and sisters love their children. why can't they deescalate. so if that would have been her child, officer potter, what would the charges have been? would it have been like office er north, the police officer in minneapolis who shot the white woman from australia? he was charged with third degree murder, and he was remorseful, said it was a mistake. but he still was convicted of

murder. we don't want two justice systems, erin. we want equal justice. >> so i know you're laying out here the family wants an upgrade in the charges. i want to ask you, the prosecutor in the case, the washington county district attorney said "i believe the woman i'm prosecuting committed second degree manslaughter. if i thought she committed more, i would bring the charges, butky only bring the charges that the evidence supports. if that doesn't assuage the public, i'm sorry it doesn't." do you believe there's evidence that supports an upgrade in charges? >> i believe if it was officer potter's child, it would have been third degree murder. however, we want to encourage prosecutors to charge with the charges that they think they can get a conviction on. we don't want it to be an

overcharge, and there's no accountability. and so the family right now is grieving, they're very emotional. >> yes. >> they want her charged to the full extent of the law, whatever that is, that's what they're pushing for. they believe it's murder. we're going to continue to evaluate the evidence to see if it can be upgraded. >> so i also want to ask you about the makiyah bryant case, the 16-year-old girl shot and killed by an officer. she appeared to lunge at another girl with a knife. i'll show everyone that video just so they can see that moment i'm referring to. >> what's going on? what's going on? hey, hey, hey! get down, get down! get down! [ gunfire ] >> we've now seen this from multiple angles, the police camera angle. she appears to be holding a knife, the officer arrives. and opens fire when bryant

appears to attempt to stab a second woman. from what you have seen here thus far, ben, is this case different, does it seem different than any of the others you've been involved in? >> well, it seems to be from the preliminary release of the video that it's different from daunte wright and obviously george floyd, because neither one of them had a weapon in their hand. but the one thing that is very troubling about this matter is there were other officers on the scene before him. why did they not try to deescalate the matter? and we have to believe in transparency, erin. i always want to be consistent, because transparency, we can see who did what. there are going to be witness statements taken from the individuals involved in the altercation. and then once you have transparency, then you have to

hold those accountable who were responsible. because that's the only way we can get the trust between law enforcement and our community. >> ben, i want to ask you one question before we go. we've been talking now for years, and it all started obviously, you've become a household name, for an unfortunate reason, i will say, for a very tragic reason. you've represented the families of black men and women who have been killed in this country. trayvon martin, everyone remembers you from trayvon martin, michael brown, now daunte wright. i'm just saying these are the situations in which america has seen you on their television screens. al sharpton yesterday called you the attorney general for black america. do you feel that sense of responsibility? i mean, that this sort of happened to you mid career. you have become this person and this face. >> erin, we have been talking about this over the years, and

i'm very grateful for you always using your platform to say that black lives matter and the importance of black lives. my personal hero and my northstar is thurgood marshal. what he always tried to do is to take cases that wouldn't just impact that one person or that one family, but he took cases that shocked the conscience, that would have a greater impact on all of society so we can try to make it a better america for all of us. and i am grateful to my mentor, reverend al sharpton. but i know what i am in my heart is a country lawyer who is unapologetic in my defense of black life, black humanity, and black culture, because we too are american culture. and america has to realize that,

erin, that we all contribute to this, and we should all be treated equally, because we are americans. and that is the promise of the american constitution. >> ben, thank you very much. i appreciate talking to you. always do. >> god mess you, erin. and next, new details on the investigation into the deadty police shooting of 16-year-old makiyah bryant, including what we know about the police officer. plus, north carolina bracing for protests after the shooting death of andrew brown, jr., by deputies. there is body cam video, but we haven't seen it. how come? and republican senator josh holly, tonight the only senator to oppose an anti-asians hate crime bill. the only one. why? if you wake up thinking about the market and want to make the right moves fast...

she was taken from me. she was taken from me. >> athena jones is "outfront" from columbus. what have you learned about the officer in this shooting? >> reporter: hi, erin. we're learning more about nicholas reardon. i believe you have the video, the slowed down version of the video of what happened on tuesday afternoon when he was the first officer to show up on scene in this shooting. what we learned that nicholas reardon was a member or is a member, a staff sergeant assigned to the ohio national guard, assigned to the 121st security forces squadron in the ohio national guard. he's been part of the national guard here in ohio since august of 2017. deployed several times, nicholas reardon is on paid leave while an independent investigation

into this shooting incident on tuesday afternoon is carried out. that investigation is now under way. you know, there's a lot of anger and frustration in this community. people who feel that this is a case of police not valuing the life of this young black girl. but if you talk to members of law enforcement, they believe the video shows that this was a reasonable use of force. one of the questions that has been -- is being asked over and over again, did officer reardon have to shoot? he shot four rounds at makhia bryant, soon after arriving on the scene. we know there was a struggle and a scuffle. we have seen the video that showed bryant with apparently a knife in her right hand, raised at a woman, a girl in pink pinned against a car. but folks are asking was this an excessive use of force. the interim police chief addressed that question and here is what he had to say. >> if there's not deadly force

being perpetrated on someone else at that time, an officer may have the opportunity to have cover, distance, and time to use a taser. but if those things aren't present, and there is an active assault going on in which someone could lose their life, the officer can use their firearm to protect that third person. >> reporter: so there you hear that from the interim police chief and the police union saud we have a duty to protect the union and ourselves. we don't know how many lives could have been lost in addition to people seriously injured. so the bottom line from authorities, they at this point believe this was a reasonable and justifiable use of force in defense of another, to prevent an attack and serious bodily injury to another person. of course, this is being investigated. and those independent investigators will draw their own conclusions. airen? >> athena, thank you very much. i want to go now to don bryant.

i'm so sorry for your loss. a horrible situation for you and your family, and now to have to watch this again and again. i truly am so sorry. >> thank you, erin. >> what was your first thought when you saw these images and you realized this is, you know, this is your family, this is your cousin? >> the first i heard about it was social media, paula, her mother made a post. and i immediately called paula to find out what in the world is going on. she put me on speakerphone and she was talking with the bci detective at the time, and it was breaking up. but from what i gathered, paula was trying to view the body and the detectives would not let her view her daughter's body, and that's when the call broke up. i was in complete shock. the whole family was in shock.

we are all deeply saddened by the death of makhia. this did not have to happen. paula, her mother, is heart broken by what happened. and i'm bringing seriously into question the use of force policies by police departments across the country. as a former city councilman, i know there are deescalation tactics that could have been used rather than pulling out your gun and shooting my cousin. there could have been other things done to avoid this situation. >> so, you know, it's really important, i know what you're saying, that the procedures need to change. the mayor of columbus has spoken about the horrible loss of your cousin and posed the question directly, did makhia bryant need to die? directly posed that question. but then he went on to say this. let me play it for you, don.

>> the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community. >> the national fraternal order of police issued a statement, don. and it reads in part, after only ten seconds on the scene, the officer who repeatedly yelled get get down" was faced with a split second decision. this was a lethal force situation that resulted sadly in the death of makhia bryant. an act of heroism but one with tragic results. >> i'm concerned, because the governor, the mayor, the police chief all coordinated this response, yet have not reached out to my family. >> wow, they haven't? >> they have not. the authorities still have not reached out the family. paula still cannot see her daughter's body. in is an outrage. what's happening is not right.

>> so what do you want the world to know about makhia? tell us. now it's just this one image. >> my cousin was a loving person. she was a sweet heart. she enjoyed talking with her friends, her family loved her. she loved her mom so much and her mom loved her. and she enjoyed doing hair. she was a tiktoker, making videos. and if you have seen some of the videos i posted on my social media, just some of the facial expressions she had. they both love each other so much. yet she's gone today. we're not getting makhia back. let's take a look at the use of force policies in police departments across america. all elected officials have the power to do that right now. let's rein this in. >> don, thank you very much. i appreciate you telling us about her. i'm sorry. >> thank you.

i want to go to the director of the department of public safety for columbus, ohio. ned pettis. you heard don with the tragic loss of his cousin, his outrage at the situation. i know that you have said there's more to the story than just the video. you have asked for patience for people not to rush to judgment. tell me more about what you mean. >> i'm sorry, tell you more about? >> when you say people should. rush to judgment and that there may be more to the story than just the video that we have seen. >> well, we know that the investigation will review the facts and circumstances. but we also have to bear in mind the pain and the feelings of our community, of makhia bryant's family. my heart broke for the family. it was hard for me to watch the

video. in fact, i had to work to control my own emotions. the first thoughts that popped into my mind were my grandchildren. you know, the black community here in columbus is emotionally exhausted from all of the tragedies. and then here is another tragedy. but there is a process that has to play out. the city of columbus entered into a labor agreement, there's a contract, there's a process by law that has to be followed. and so we need to be patient and composed and allow the process to work. but we are amenable to making all the changes that need to be made here in the city of columbus, ohio. >> so you heard don bryant, makhia's cousin.

look, he's facing loss. he's upset and he is outraged. he said this didn't have to happen. that he believes there are other deescalation techniques that could have been used. what do you say to him at this point, ned? >> well, there's not a lot that can be said that will ease the pain, especially for family members. but i can tell him that there are those of us who want to be involved from the inside to make the positive changes that need to be made. there are those of us who recognize the generations and decades of inequity and mistreatment, and there are those of us who want to do something about it. but we can't do it alone. we have to have the help of everyone. and it needs to be done in the

right way. >> so director, we spoke to former greenville, north carolina police chief hasan aden about the video. his comment was that officer reardon gave verbal commands to makhia for her to stop, just as he lunged with a knife at a second victim. his view is the deescalation did not appear to be a viable option, that he was faced with an immediate deadly force situation. that he understands how this happened because he -- there could be death to the second assault victim if he had not acted. let me just ask you, director. i know there's a lot we do not know, but do you think this incident is different from other police involved shootings that we have seen recently around the country or not? >> well, i think that technically and intellectually, it's likely different than some of the others where there was an

unarmed black person that was killed, lethal force was used on them. but it does not help with the hurt and pain, because this was a teenage child. and it just hurt. it's devastating. it's a tragedy, no matter how you analyze it. >> it certainly is. it's poignantly sad. thank you very much, director. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> ned pettis from the department of public safety in columbus, ohio. next, north carolina bracing for another night of protests after deputies killed a 42-year-old black man. the sheriff said they were serving a warrant at the time. how did it turn deadly? the senate passes an anti-asian hate crimes bill 94-1. the lone no-vote? josh holly. how come? scary.

the local sheriff's department begins to shed light at the hands of an african-american killed by law enforcement. the father of ten was shot and killed while deputies tried to execute a warrant. the sheriff's department say thing just a short time ago. >> deputies from at agency are assisting in this arrest warrant. this is an arrest warrant surrounding felony drug charges. he was a convicted felony with a history of resisting arrest. our training and policy indicates there is a high risk of danger. >> body camera footage exists, but authorities have not said what it shows. they said it cannot be released without a court order.

also unknown are key details like why shots were fired or how many. one witness describing a chaotic scene to cnn. >> i heard one shot and i looked up and ran down here. by the time i got down here, they were standing behind his car, he was trying to get away. they stood behind him. i couldn't tell you who shot him, i couldn't do that. but one of the officers or maybe a couple shot him, because it was 14 shell casings right here. >> do you know how many deputies were here if >> oh, my god, behind him? whoa! i want to say it was about four or five. >> diane gallagher is "outfront" in elizabeth city tonight. and diane, you're there on the ground, now there's growing calls to find out more to see this video, we need a court order to find out what happened. so much of this hinges on that body cam video that we just don't have. >> reporter: that's right, erin.

look, the people who are out here right now in elizabeth city are in the heart of elizabeth city, north carolina. we have shut down and interstate here. or the inner workings of the city here, it's a street and intersection. the reason why they say they're here is not just to say the name of andrew brown, jr., but they want answers and they want the sheriff to give answers directly. the sheriff has been speaking on these press conferences and not speaking to the community. as you can see, i've got quinton jackson here with me. not only did you know andrew brown, but you're out here demanding information and they tell you more. >> that's right. we want them to come out. the sheriff was elected by the people, so he needs to come out here and answer these questions. when you look around, you see deputies from all over. but yet, the sheriff is not out here. he said we're getting death threats, that hasn't come from anybody out here.

everybody out here has been very peaceful and respectful. of course, we have community leaders out here just in case any outsiders come from out of time and not be peaceful -- >> reporter: tell me about andrew brown. >> andrew brown was a guy who you knew, he was a father, a grandfather, he was a loving guy. but we're a very small community. elizabeth city, there's under 20,000 people. so we all knew andrew. andrew did not carry a weapon. we know that the local police department knew that he wasn't a person known to carry weapons. you have to understand it's hard to wrap around that deputies just shoot a guy who was known in the community not to carry a weapon. that's why we want answers. we're going to miss andrew. we're going to miss his bmw. he's a very fun loving guy. >> reporter: that is what we're hearing from everybody, andrew

brown loved his children and grandchildren. i was told that he didn't get a chance to meet his second grand child, who was just 2 months old, that he was killed before he had that chance. but he was so proud of his children and that is what people remember him most by. what a dedicated father he was and how much he'll be missed by his children. >> diane, thank you very much. i want to go now to the president of the north carolina naacp, reverend t. anthony spearman. i appreciate your time. so you heard there the sheriff and the deputy sheriff, they're beginning to give out some information about the case. they say that this happened as an arrest warrant on felony drug charges. they say that andrew brown, jr., was a convicted felony with a history of resisting arrest. what do you make of that and what else do you know or don't know so far? >> well, good evening, and thank you, erin, for this opportunity.

something that was conveyed to me earlier today about andrew brown is that had andrew been aware of the warrant that was out on him, that he was the type of individual that would have turned himself in. and based on some of the other reports of andrew being a nonviolent individual, i believe that be the case. he was a devoted father of ten. and as i just heard, a grandfather who did not get the opportunity to see his youngest grand child. and i know that he was a person that probably did not graduate from high school, and he tried to instill in his children to the best of his ability to go on to higher education and get college educations. so of all the reports i've been

receiving, they are that andrew was a non-violent individual and a responsible individual. >> okay. and we'll see. obviously, as you say, hearing more and more about this person, what law enforcement says obviously is counter to that. but we don't know because we haven't seen the body camera footage. >> correct. >> it hasn't been released. >> correct. >> i understand that -- go ahead, go ahead, reverend. >> that for me is an issue that i attempted to address today. i happen to be on the advisory council of the state bureau of investigation's excessive use of force committee. and i contacted the director this morning to put the question about getting the footage for

the -- from the body cams. he informed me that it's not the sheriff's office that is the one to talk to, but to contact the district attorney, which i did this morning. i attempted to reach the district attorney's office, and was appalled by what i was told. i was told first and foremost i couldn't leave a message because the person who assists him was on leave or out of the office. and when i called back to let them know that i was told that the district attorney himself was on -- out of the office until april 26th. at which time i told them that is up acceptable. i need some answers from the district attorney right now. put me in touch with some of the assistant d.a.s. they said of which there are several or so, and they told me that they are on assignment and the others that he is

responsible for. i said this is still unacceptable. we need answers and we need them now. if you're hoping for us to be able to maintain peace and calm in the community, we need to talk to the district attorney. i have not heard from the district attorney yet. >> anthony spearman, thank you very much. i appreciate your time, sir. next, the senate overwhelmingly passes a bill to address hate crimes against asian-americans. there was only one no vote, only one no vote. it was republican senator josh holly. why? plus, doctors warning alexei navalny to end his hunger strike or end up dead. a close friend of navalny is "outfront." no, buddy! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪ struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes

tonight, the senate passing an anti-asian hate crimes bill 94-1. that kind of unity is rare, it just doesn't exist. but it does leave you with the question who was the one person who said i cannot go with this, even though every other republican and democrat are? that would be missouri's republican senator josh holly. manu, this bill is aimed at strengthening federal efforts to address hate crimes against

asian-americans. there has been a rise in violence against asian-americans, so you have this 94-1. we just don't see it on anything, anything. but we saw it here. that kind of unity. but not josh holly. how come? >> reporter: the reason why, erin, holly was say thing is a, in his view, overly broad. he said this bill is hugely open ended, and he said that it was expansive and it could lead to massive government overreach and data being sent to the federal government. of course, that's not how 94 of his colleagues viewed this. they viewed this and said what this bill would do, ex-pedite te review of hate crimes committed against asian-americans. it would create an official within the justice department to review hate crimes against asian-americans and create state -- incentivize streets to create hotlines to report hate crimes proshgss provide grants,

training to law enforcement to try to identify potential hate crimes that were committed. but erin, it's important to know that holly might not have been the only senator to vote know. rand paul, who missed the vote today. he was one of a handful of perhaps he they would need one more to vote against it. >> on that point, we see ted cruz on that list. rand paul on that list. tuberville, the same suspects. what were their reasons? >> reporter: they had a variety of reasons. paul said he believes these issues should be done at the state level, not federal level. ted cruz had a different argument. he said in a statement after voting to block the bill from coming up for a debate, he said -- he called it a democratic messaging vehicle and find to push the demonstrably false idea that this is somehow racist to acknowledge that covid-19 originated in wuhan,

china, and the chinese communist party actively lied and suppressed information about the outbreak. noud erin, ted cruz ended up voting for this bill ultimately. there were modest changes made to this bill that is on its way to the president's desk eventually with cruz's support. >> thanks very much, manu, appreciate it. this is the one guy, the main guy, the only guy standing up to putin. life-threatening situation right now. nauchbl's supporters are being arrested for even protesting. so what is putin's end game here? navalny's close friend is out front. carvana lets people buy a car-- get this-- from their couch. oh, how disruptive. no salesman there to help me pick out the car i need. how does anyone find a car on this site without someone like us checking in?

(doorbell rings) thank you. can we be besties, simone biles? i guess? yessss! should we dismount now? tonight, doctors have jailed putin opposition leader alexei navalny calling on him to end his hunger strike to avoid death, warning, if he continues we'll soon have no one to heal. it comes as more than 1,800 russians were detained yesterday after many thousands protested across the country in support of navalny. out front now, a close friend of

navalny's who's taken over his anti-corruption organization. v vlad mere, appreciate your time. what do you know about alexei navalny's condition? >> there's been movement. we learned through navalny's lawyers who visited him that he was taken to a civil hospital two days ago. some tests were made and the result of these tests were made available to the doctors. his health is in grave danger and the doctors are evaluating the results and they're providing the course of medical treatment. this is something that was denied to navalny over three weeks of his hunger strike. and we hope that some medical treatment is applied to him soon. >> so i know you spoke to him, you know, personally. he's your friend.

that was after his recovery. he nearly died from being poisoned, right, which russian intelligence agents have been implicated n. he knew when he went back to russia what he was walking into. he felt he needed to be there to make a difference. he didn't want to do it from outside the country. it was incredibly courageous. but now we've learned two of the russian doctors who treated him during the poisoning incident before he left the country have also died. now navalny's health is quickly deteriorating. what do you think putin's end game is? >> well, we always understand that putin would like to see navalny emerge as his most prominent opponent, eliminated or isolated. we have the fact of his poisoning. he was unlawfully incarcerated after he returned to russia. at the same time, the label of killer was applied casually to mr. putin by no other than

president joe biden. if navalny dies on his watch that label will be a permanent stain on putin and i think he would like to avoid that. >> you mentioned joe biden. he did call putin a killer knowing it would cause incredible blowback, which it did. you have thousands of russians going to the streets to support navalny, 1,800 of them detained, risking their own lives. so today the white house was pressed again, what will the white house do? let me just play for you what the press secretary, sikhjen ps said in response. >> we reserve the right to issue additional sanctions in the future. obviously our objective and focus and hope is that mr. navalny will be treated with humanity and kept safe and, of course, ultimately be released. >> is that message strong enough, vladimir? >> this is a welcome message of

support. jake sullivan, the national security adviser, also said in an interview a few days ago that they are employing private communication channels on navalny's situation, so we don't know the facts. but i suspect there is something going on behind the scenes. >> let me just ask you. i know navalny's wife has been such a crucial part of, you know, him being able to get through all this. how is she doing? has she been able to see him or talk to him, do you know? >> no. she hasn't been able to see him. he can only be seen by his lawyer, who has access to him for about an hour a day. his wife is indeed a rock on which he stands. she came to the streets yesterday during protests in moscow. her support is really indispensable for him in this

situation. >> i'm sure it is. she's so courageous as well. vladimir, thank you very much. i appreciate you taking the time. thanks very much to all of you for joining me. "360" with anderson begins now. good evening. we begin tonight with daunte wright's friend and mentor gave him as he was stopped by police. make sure your hands are on top of the steering wheel, don't reach for anything, to which he said daunte asked why would we have to do all that just for people not to kill us. daunte wright was killed after a traffic stop outside town. he was 20 years old. >> i sat up until 3:30 in the morning so nervous about what i was going to stand up here and say about my son.
